AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

Amid the mignonette-
She with her snowy tatting,
; with my cigarette.
still can see her fingers
Fly softly in and out;
with rapt memory fingers
To view her lips pout.
"A happy sunbeam glancing
! Upon hayward curl,
Set every pulse to dancing
And turned my brain a whirl
And when she looked up shyly,
could not help, you see,
But stoop and kiss her slyly,
Behind the apple tree.
Strange that some mote forever
Should mar the rays of bliss.
Though conscious had never
Yet won so sweet Al kiss.
Alas! the act of plumber
So gracefully she bore,
could not help hut wonder
Had she been kissed before.
Cup and Bell!

They were dressed in cowboy style, with
wide leather leggings and broad SOM
brer0S, with thick straps around them
for bands. They had been to Texas,
they said, to look up some cattle mat
tiers, and were en- route home to the
range where they were employed, on the
Rosebud.
'They were nice fellows, and one
evening after we were out day or two,
one of them, who had'a pack of cards,
suggested ask two young ladies, who
were with their mother just ahead of us,
to join us in a game. The young cow
boy said he'd do it, but he was afraid of
a woman. He said he could stand up
and be shot ut, but he couldn't do this.

one OF them in my politest style, the
young cowboy standing by at the time
